Skiing in Verbier: 4 Vallées Resort Guide (2026–27)
Verbier has a reputation: steep, deep, expensive and loud after 4 pm. All true. It sits on a sunny balcony above the Val de Bagnes and is the main entry point to the 4 Vallées, which links Verbier, Nendaz, Veysonnaz and Thyon.
The mountain
- Mont Fort (3,330 m) — the summit, with the famous mogul run under the cable car and glacier views to the Matterhorn and Mont Blanc.
- Freeride — Verbier's off-piste is world class. Hire a guide; avalanche risk is real.
- Savoleyres — the sunny, quieter side, good for intermediates.
Who it's for
Strong skiers, freeriders, and anyone who wants nightlife. Not ideal for a first ski holiday.
